East Coast meetup and elsewhere

These pictures are from an area called Puembo, which is where the airport is, and about 20 minutes from Quito. The Andes are in the background.

Now in Quito, with more of the Andes as a background.

Can't really see the top of Cotapaxi, which is now the tallest active volcano. The darker smoke is spewing from it.

Tomorrow, I'm off to Baltimore for a week.

What area of bmore sam? I live in Maryland (Frederick area).
Edit: I wasn't able to wear much IH because it was still hot down there despite it being winter. I did wear my DWC when I could.

Nice Pics of Paraguay @Ndubya94 , looks sort of similar to Quito. Yes they do great Barbeques down there. I am working near BWI, and staying at the Hilton, right by the airport.

@Sam/IH how long are you in Baltimore? I may be going down there tomorrow, if not tomorrow, then definitely Sunday. I'm in southern PA.

When I started this thread in this forum, I kind of wondered how it would go. I met a second forum member tonight, @Akuma no uta, and had a nice time. Nice also meeting Basia. I think I will continue putting in my travel destinations and dates. Since I spend 240 nights a year in Hotels, its a nice break in my usual routine to meet up with fellow Iron Heart devotee.

Had a great holiday in the UK. This post is flying there. After an early arrival and quick sleep, I found that Rivet and Hide was within walking distance.

Monday, I took an early Eurostar to Paris, went to the Louvre, had dinner in my favorite restaurant. It's one I have gone to every time I'm in Paris. Returned to London on the last Eurostar.

Very nice Sam!!!

You're not exactly on a budget, ROman, are ya? Friends (one of them a railway enthusiast) who have been to London recently marveled about the St Pancras hotel, but couldn't afford it. Plane seat doesn't look like cattle class either.
Okay, I try to switch envy control mode on
and just say: really nice trip, keep us posted! -
Now to my favorite part of the trip. Tuesday the 13th, after a slight hangover from Paris, I made it to Gosport, I bought 4 shirts, IHSH 33 black, IHSH 13, IHSH 91, IHSH 123. Then I spotted the new back pack on the wall. @Giles , @Madame Buttonfly , @Winchy and @Sam are all extremely nice people. Hopefully I will see them all again soon. Spending the day there was great.

Wednesday, the 14th, my friends took me to Cliveden, which is now a hotel and a famed restaurant. Had a great lunch, by chef Andre Garrett. Here are some inside shots.
